that the voter rentals must meet all District ex-
penditures for the water service, IT may prove to
be needful that the water charges be increased"
There is here some apparent misconception."
says the report. 'of the law, which, as above
quoted, distinctly states that the water rates are
solely for .keeping up the supply" the report
states that It Is true that the following adQitonal
acts have been passed, that OF July 15 1852,
chapter %, relative to the water-works extension,
which provides that one-half OF the cost OF the
Improvement shall be charged to the capital
account, with interest at the rate OF per cent,
and that the surplus OF water rents ABOVE the
charges already against 1t, and the further charge
OF maintaining the works extension. shall be
paid into the Treasury, and that the water rents
shall be at least sufficient to pay for maintaining

 My heart has always responded to the sentiments of that divine maxim, but now that | have at hand this substantial and beautiful emblem of your regard, feel deeply the blessedness of receiving.
 The beauty and usefulness of the gift, as well as its money value, I should have full ly appreciated if had purchased it my self. Now, while those qualities are by means overlooked, shall prze it much more highly for the spirit that prompted the giving, and the untiring activity oi those through whose instrumentalty ii was given also for the genuine surprise of that tempestuous night, and the pleas ure of your presence on a more favorable evening, which aOGs so Uery "dry" that, although the morning promised rain, and tea and coffee were abundant. the cider pitcher bad taken tbe bLue ribbon

 And then, when we wore about to join you, bright birds of another feather fitted gayly out among us, and charme d us away to thread Hthe net dle's eyes, and me ,s- ure out the first three steps" etc, de- lectable accomplishments with which we were more familiar before the last foot or two was added to our stature And that table great credit is due to the willing hands of those Marthas, whose taste and energies were gwen to its ar rangement-lCaded again and again with I tempting delicacies provided by the choic. est culinary skill in the country, verily believe. A sight fit for a king! And any king who would sit down to such dainty feast, and would not sing a song of more than ''sixpence, should be 'tjndged" to live on "blackbird" all his life. ] Dear friends, this souvenir will always remind me of you, and the wisdom of your choice does you great credit. You asked me to write love letter. Will this do for one? To be sure have not wasted the regulation amount of paper upon it. But why should I need to, since I was pro- vided by dear young friends at Christmas with a large and valuable book, contain ing two pages of instructions on this most l important subject
 However, trust that those respected friends who honored us with their pres ence in spite of Keen edged diversity I trust that those bright young teachers, those esteemed pupils, aud all those other friends, young and old,-doubtless much better skilled in such matters-and es- pecially little Johnny-will pardon me for departing from those stereotyped phrases, and expressing my 'tlove' ill such an un- l unusual away.

Evening dress is proper on all ''swell' occasions at night, at dinner and supper, parties and banquets, at parties and in the boxes and front rows at the opera. The New York Tribune has hints on the subject which may be useful. It may be mentioned that shirts to wear with dress suit are specially made. They are open in front to display the modest white or tiny gold studs that are worn, and they have the collar and cuffs made fast to them. The Tribune remarks
 Don't wear a shirt open behind. This crime cannot be concealed. Have your collars and cuffs on your shirt or stay at home.
 Don't wear low hat with evening dress or a Prince Albert coat, nor a high hat with a sack coat. Die first.
 Don't wear your watch chain to show with evening dress, Pawn it first.
 Don't wear a white or black silk or satin tie with evening dress. White lawn, about three quarters of an inch wide, tied by yourself, is the correct thing.

| A series of the most dastardly acts ever committed In Putnam were perpetrated last Thursday evening The Roman Cath. olic, Episcopal, Baptist and Congregation. al churches and the two Nightingale mills were entered, and destruction and devasta- tion spread broadcast At the Roman Catholic church the tabernacle was broken into, the entire altar service of gold stolen, walls and carpet spat upon, the images and decorations thrown down and demol- ished, the poor box ri1ed of its contents, and the pnestly robes desecrated in a most revoiting manner, and the entire damage is estimated at over $500. A ser- vice had been held there that evening and the church was lighted until after II o'clock. The work of dissertation was dis covered by Father Vygen himself early Friday morning. At the Episcopal church tue silver communion service was taken, but with jewellers keenness the miscre- ants left untouched q plated baptismal font. A silver charm from a rosary was found at the church which had evidently been brought from the Catholic church. Eatrance was effected through one of the basement windows. The Congregational church was entered through one of the chapel windows on the east side, and the entire window fastening was pried out from the wood. The cellar, library, and inside chapel doors were left open and the place had evidently been carefully rnnsack- ed, for the silver service, and the con- munion wine was drunk up here and at the Episcopal church. At the Baptist church little damage was done, the work here evidently being confined to search fer portable booty. The most serious damage by far was done at the Nightingale mills, where the warps of over 200 looms were slashed into, some of them having been cut half way through. In one of the mills but four looms were left uncut out of about 150. The other mill suffered less, as there were but between fifty and sev- euty-tive cut there. One watchman, 6 Frenchman by the name of Case, has to do duty in both mills, which are connected together, and shortly after 12 o'clock, on passing through the weave shop, he die covered the acts which had been commit. ted. In addition to the direct damage the enforced stopping of so many looms and the loss of employment to the help in that department cannot fail to result in loss to employers and employed of a number of thousands of dollars.

-Anno Domini 1755, there lived in the
 town of Coventry patriarchial high bor1 gentleman, who was a peer among his townsmen, to whom the church, politioS
 and society gave many an office of ecclesi. astic and magisterial trust and power. All these dignities he bore unostentatious- ly upon his colonial, ,aristocratic shoulders Parentally he was Puritan in discipline and gave to America the sacrifice of an il. lustrious son, above whose head shineth a
 halo the mists of years will never dim. As magistrate, he understood the charac- ter of the politics of his time, was pop ular representative several sessions in the generalassembly. He was an independent, successful farmer, had much physical en- ergy and vigor, and in our parlance was a Irregular driver." In religion he was weu-a regular driver in that too, for his step daughter used 10 remark frequently that she "never saw a man work so hard for both worlds as did good Deacon ---,'' But see from what height he fell, this ex- empler Ill plety, who never omitted family prayer, or did any work after sundown Saturday night. Twill bring him nearer to us to expose 8 weakness, twill throw an incandescent light upon the human ele- ments of his character, will make him more like modern heads of families who can fall and rise again with no apparent discomfort. Yes, he. was ambitions, recklessly SO, and upon this summer morning he arose with the first streak of dawn. It promised to be a fine hay day He quickly dispatched breakfast, which wasn't served in courses that morning, arose, returned thanks, and immediately withdrew, leaving the rest of the family to sit down again and complete their repast. He had just hired muscu- lar 'scountrymann with more aVoirdupois than activity. When in the field he took it upon himself to load the hay upon the cart and directed the hired man to pitch 1t up to him. Twas hot, sultry after noon, and the jaded oxen moved at snail pace, so did the hired man, who was think ing of cooling shade and gurgling brooks. Finally the deacon called out lustily with a cadence binting at something beyond pleasantly, "more hay p He repeated this call three or four times, until 1t began to dawn upon the lazy fellow that he must speed up, so he just got on his ear.7 and pitched that hay so rapidly that the discon- certed farmer couldn't balance the load. and in twinkling off it went upon the ground, deacon and all. "Now, what do you want, deacon P shouted young 'tHer- cules" 'in tones ironicalA but Satisfied. More hay P and scrambled up the cart as nimbly as boy.
